The summary describes a radiofrequency generator for nerve lesioning, focusing on power, temperature, and impedance control. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is described as "making heat ablative lesions in central or peripheral nerve tissue for the treatment of movement disorders or for the relief of pain," which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a radiofrequency generator used to create heat ablative lesions for therapeutic purposes (e.g., relieving tremors or pain) by destroying nerve tissue, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "radiofrequency generator" that "supplies up to 50 Watts of Radio Frequency energy" and is subjected to testing for "mechanical and electrical safety," indicating it is a hardware device that generates and delivers energy, not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is performed outside the body.
- Device Function: The OWL Radiofrequency System, Model URF-3AP, is used to directly apply radiofrequency energy to nerve tissue within the patient's body. It is a therapeutic device used for lesioning nerve tissue to treat conditions like movement disorders and pain.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device description and intended use do not mention the analysis of any biological specimens.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the OWL Radiofrequency System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The OWL radiofrequency generator URF-3AP is used by qualified medical personnel to make heat ablative lesions in central or peripheral nerve tissue for the treatment of movement disorders or for the relief of pain. The lesions are ablative in order to be therapeutic; i.e. the destruction of a small portion of the thalamus within the brain interferes with the motor pathway causing the tremor of Parkinson's disease, thereby relieving the tremor, or the destruction of the facet joint nerves in the lumbar vertebrae to block pain transmission by these nerves and thereby relieve certain types of low back pain.
The URF-3AP supplies up to 50 Watts of Radio Frequency energy at 481kHz in bipolar or monopolar modes under power or temperature control while continuously monitoring and displaying actual power delivered, measured probe temperature, time of power duration, and measured impedance.
When used with monopolar probes, the system also delivers low-frequency stimulus pulses in either voltage or current controlled modes.

Summary of Performance Studies
A risk analysis identifying potential hazards and documenting mitigations of the hazards has been developed and applied as part of the DIROS OWL URF-3AP product development cycle. The risk analysis is based on EN 1441/ISO14971 - Risk Analysis for Medical Devices.
Testing was performed to validate the functional performance of the DIROS system. In particular, specific performance testing of the software was performed to show that the performance was met.
The DIROS OWL URF-3AP has been subjected to performance testing to applicable safety, electrical, mechanical, EMC standards. The DIROS OWL URF-3AP system has been evaluated and has passed all mechanical and electrical safety according to CSA International. Standards that were investigated are: IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2No.601.1-M90 certified. The URF-3AP has also been evaluated and satisfies the requirements to IEC 601-2-2 Medical electrical equipment, Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical equipment.

Dear Mr. Darmos:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
